Steps

  • Cut two 13cm pastry discs and chill them in the freezer for one hour on a lined baking sheet.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Slice beetroots into 1mm discs using a mandolin and coat them evenly with warm butter, salt, and pepper.
  • Layer beetroot discs three deep inside 9cm rings placed within 12cm blini pans.
  • Cover the beetroot with parchment, replace the ring to trap steam, and heat on the stovetop for 2 minutes.
  • Bake the beetroot for 12 minutes at 180°C, then cool completely and turn out onto a plate.
  • Cook sliced onions with butter and seasoning for 40 minutes under a lid, then deglaze with vinegar.
  • Spread onion jam on pastry discs, apply egg wash to edges, top with beetroot, and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Whisk olive oil, boiled vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the Jerez vinaigrette.
  • Serve the tarts glazed with vinaigrette alongside dressed salad leaves and cottage cheese.
